Re: Proposal for new Common Vocab term: License

Greetings!

My understanding is that a license grants a permission subject to certain constraints.

Perhaps I'm misreading Renato's comment, but couldn't you get to the granularity of the AP license examples through other tags?

Said another way, wouldn't it be possible for the AP to grant a license to reproduce a photo for a specific duration on a specific website through existing constraints?

What would such a license look like?

Cheers,
Cindy

This means that those newspapers, magazines or websites are allowed to use the licensed photo as part of their news report (for example). It doesn’t mean that the AP has sold anyone else the photo. On the other hand, it isn’t the case that the AP grants *any* use of the photo. There could be restrictions involved (e.g. only on websites, not as part of mobile apps, for example) or duties (e.g. mandatory credit of the original photographer, if AP is licensing this photo on behalf of someone else).
